Important people in Judiasm




Abraham

Abraham is the founder of Judaism and God told him to leave Ur where he grew up and go to Canaan. He had to go through Mesopotamia because he couldn't make it through the Arabian Desert. Abraham's family worshiped a different God than everyone else. Abraham took his people to the wilderness and that is where he wrote the Ten Commandments.

This might be Abraham but no one really knows what Abraham probably looks like


Moses

Moses was born in Israel. All the babies were being killed so Moses' mother put him in a basket and pushed him down a river. The pharoh's daughter found him and raised him. He grew up in royalty. He found out he wasn't the pharaoh's son so he left Egypt and then returned to free his people.
